Pandemic, Brazilian National Health System (SUS) and Collective Health: com-positions and openings for worlds-others

Abstract

The objective of this essay is to produce memories and to question networks, plots, dissensions and tensions that are arising in Brazil in light of the Covid-19 pandemic. The text is composed of five plateaux that attempt to make visible and to enunciate a dialogue with the production of new socialisation realities in the current context. Rather than offering ideas to be reproduced, we built paths of thought that we hope may affect and trigger new encounters and thoughts. Thus, we intend to enable the disruption of the pre-pandemic world, which no longer exists, and the opening for the construction of a ‘world other’, in which life in its multiplicity is the common for all, and a general equivalent for any ethical position in health.
